Holm Auto Good News: Billy goats draw attention at animal swap

Saturday

Children clutched to the rails of a trailer as they peered at the animals within on Saturday at Tractor Supply Co. in Salina.

Inside, miniature Billy goats looked back at them.

Marvin Reinert, of Salina, brought the goats to the store at 3120 Riffel Drive for its animal swap event. Community members were invited to stop by and engage with other animal lovers while swapping, trading or selling their small animals or livestock.

“I got up at 6 a.m. to get ready for this event," Reinert said. "These are are Billy goats (male goats), and I only need so many Billy goats, so I decided to bring them here to sell."

Sabrina Ozisik, of Salina, was enamored by the goats.

“The event piqued my interest mainly to plan for next year, but I might be back to get these goats," Ozisik said. "These goats are so cute; they are adorable."

Ozisik took photographs of the goats and sent them to her husband, asking if she could get them.

Boy Scouts Troop 90 set up a brand new grill to serve hotdogs and hamburgers to help raise money for Eagle Scout projects.

“We are assembling a grill so we can cook for people attending the animal swap meet to raise money to go to different merit badge councils,” said Sean Chapman.
